DEVELOPMENTS

• On Zero Hour, JAY LETHAL and LEE JOHNSON are backstage. Jay Lethal takes exception to Samoa Joe, who he says was the mentor he picked for himself, walking around with a new protegé. He challenges Joe and Anthony Bowens to a tag match against the two of them on Collision tomorrow. 
• Around 5 minutes in the opener, both Nigel McGuinness and Josh Woods put on headsets. Nigel, who's used two rope breaks, says that the match isn't going how he expected. Woods says it's going exactly how he expected, and now referee Mike Posey has put on a headset to tell them both that they can expect to get counted out if they don't get back in the ring.
• The story of this match is Nigel fucking with Josh by making him eat his rope breaks on tie-ups in the corner. Woods has used all three of them in the first 7 or so minutes of this 60-minute time limit. Nigel uses his last rope break after the 9-minute mark to escape an ankle lock.
• Nigel has to go to the Les Kellett rebound lariat several times to put away Woods, who only gets pinned by virtue of exhaustion. The two shake hands after the match. 
• Red Velvet and Viva Van go to fucking war for the Women's Television Championship, but it's Red Velvet who's able to come out retaining the belt. In 15 career matches for that title, she's only dropped one. They have a display of sportsmanship after the match.
• ACTION ANDRETTI comes out to ringside midway through the Men's TV title match to support Lio Rush, who is still a freak. Towards the end, Lio goes and grabs the title belt. It's unclear what he intends to do with it, but Stephon Smith notices and takes it. While Stephon's occupied, Lio goes up top and Action Andretti suddenly gets up and shoves him off. AR Fox doesn't notice and only sees that Lio's downed, so he takes advantage and puts him away soon after. Andretti puts on a pair of shades.
• SAMMY GUEVARA backstage with Lexy Nair. The tag titles are not up for grabs tonight because Beast Mortos had visa issues, but they'll defend next month in Mexico. Sammy tells Lexy that he wants the AEW Men's World Championship so he calls out Darby Allin for Collision.
• ACTION ANDRETTI backstage. He says that he feels like in life, there's always a right or wrong, so when things got rough for Lio Rush, he told him to go do what he needed to do. But after call after call, he never heard a word from Lio, and on Zero Hour when he was attacked by RUSH, Lio was nowhere to be found. Action says he feels like he was forgotten, discarded, and disrespected when he was trying to do the right thing. A desire to cause pain has been awakened inside of him, he says, and adds that CRU is done. I'm not really sure if Andretti is fully aware of what's going on with Lio because that dude is not right but he's talking like Lio's fully cognizant.
• Ace Austin is frustrated following his defeat at the hands of Lee Moriarty, who made full usage of the ropes during his final pinfall attempt. It was a legal pin, though; both men had used all of their rope breaks. He's eventually able to get past it and shakes Lee's hand.
• RED VELVET backstage. She says it feels great to still have the TV title, but she's pissed that she's not in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. But she knows Willow Nightingale is, and she wants her shot at the TBS Championship tomorrow night on Collision. 
• Lexy Nair now welcomes Bustah and the Brain: JORDAN OLIVER and ALEC PRICE, who are on a winning streak in ROH. They're here to declare their intent to face Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos for the ROH tag titles. Alec challenges any tag team who's feeling froggy to come take them on. MIKE BENNETT and MATT TAVEN have returned. Mike says that when Dad's away, the kids get a little rambunctious, but now daddy's home. Matt takes exception to Oliver & Price calling out "their friend Frank" Mortos, and says that ROH is their house and their Kingdom. If Oliver and Price want their ROH tag titles, he says, they need to go through them. They shake hands.
• Shane Taylor Promotions have put out an open challenge for anyone besides Eddie Kingston, Ortiz, and Mance Warner, who they beat on HonorClub last night. That challenge is met by THE OUTRUNNERS and DALTON CASTLE. 
• The boys are able to get the pinfall victory, but their celebration is short-lived as Shane Taylor Promotions quickly rush the ring and get their heat back. They're joined by LEE MORIARTY. That, too, is interrupted when ORANGE CASSIDY arrives and aura farms on the stage for a second. The real heater making the save is the return of MARK BRISCOE, who charges the ring with a chair.
• Following Mark Davis' successful defense, Lexy Nair is backstage with SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS minus Ogogo and Adora. She tries to congratulate Lee Moriarty on his defense but Carlie cuts her off. Shawn takes umbrage with Orange Cassidy and Mike Briscoe sticking their nose in STP business. Shane says Mark knows what happens when people get between him and his championships, but adds that if they want to fight, they'll beat them down anytime, anywhere. Carlie says they're gonna get the ROH belts back, and Shawn proposes any members of STP versus any members of The Conglomeration, and if STP win, they get a shot at the AEW Trios titles.
• MARK BRISCOE and ORANGE CASSIDY are backstage to respond. Mark accepts their challenge and says that he and Kyle O'Reilly need to get tuned up for their Wednesday night matches. The word of the day, he says, is "hometown ass-whoopin'." It'll be Mark, Kyle, and Orange for Collision.
• ROH Men's World title on the line. Caprice says that Blake deserves this shot being undefeated in ROH singles action in 2026, but the issue comes from the way Christian's gone about that.
• Bandido has Blake set up on the apron, but Lee gets on the other side to distract referee Brandon Martinez. Jay Lethal gets on to fuck with Bandido, but eats a back elbow and thrust kick. It allows Blake to slip free, though, and he chop blocks Bandido before a Swirl Screwdriver from the ring to the floor.
• A few minutes later, Bandido starts climbing up top. Blake calls for attention from Martinez, and Jay starts trying to grab Bandido, but Martinez notices almost immediately and ejects both men. Bandido goes tope con giro to wipe them both out.
• Bandido has Blake set up for the grounded 21 Plex but Blake rolls over onto his back, shoots Bandido the double bird, and says "yeah, hit it like this, bitch." Bandido proceeds to hit it like that, bitch, doing a Northern Lights-style 21 Plex and rolling through for a second with locomotion. Blake kicks out at 2. Evidently that one is not as effective as the German.
• Christian clears off the announce desk and goes to drop Bandido on his whole shit, but it's Bandido who gets control and deadlift vertical suplexes him. That shit does NOT budge. Blake somehow kicks out of a 21 Plex in the ring afterward. Bandido survives a Poisonrana from the second and a springboard 450 not long after.
• Blake goes for his own 21 Plex but Bandido stymies that and they jockey for position with Blake on the apron until Bandido suplexes him back into the ring from the middle rope. Ian believes he's going up for the frog splash but it's a Shooting Star attempted by Bandido instead as Blake gets his knees up to block it. Christian hits Trouble in Paradise on Bandido and looks for a springback crossbody but he gets anti-aired with a dropkick. The ensuing double down results in a standing 10 count that's broken up at 9.
• Out of a strike exchange, Blake looks for his second Lethal Injection of the match but Bandido catches him into the X Knee. Blake lands on his feet but is staggered. Bandido charges him but Blake is able to come to long enough to count a rolling elbow into a C4 standing Spanish fly for a 2 count.
• Blake, for whatever reason, now grabs the title from the timekeeper's area and brings it to the ring. Brandon Martinez tells him to put it down so he just does. Blake grabs Bandido by the hair and says "I'm gonna take that shit from you! It's my fuckin' time, Bandido! My fuckin' time!" Bandido slaps the shit out of him so Blake goes to grab the belt. Martinez takes it and Christian low blows Bandido while his back is turned. The ensuing double curbstomp, though, is not quite enough to put away the champion. Blake's nearly exhausted his back of tricks.
•  Blake goes for a second stomp. Bandido pops him up for a powerbomb; Blake holds on to try a hurricanrana but Bandido holds on into a Styles Clash by the ropes. That allows him to get the grounded 21 Plex to retain. Bandido puts a bow on his ninth defense of the title this reign.
• Bandido celebrates with the title but he's suddenly jumped by SWERVE STRICKLAND, who hits a pair of House Calls on him. He goes to leave with PRINCE NANA, but turns around and sets up a chair in the ring before hitting a Vertebreaker onto it.
• For the first time, our main event is a women's Survival of the Fittest affair. This match starts with Athena grabbing Billie Starkz by the wrist and throwing her out to the floor before yelling at her to "stick to the plan." "Let these dumb bitches fight, okay? It's elimination. They're stupid. They're stupid." Everyone else has surrounded them at ringside so Athena grabs Billie and throws her into Zayda Steel and we're thoroughly underway.
• There's a four-woman International taking place in the ring; Zayda enters a cazadora with Athena and arm drags her into the corner. She goes into a do-si-do with Billie but they get turned around and run right into a double line from Trish Adora.
• It's the Maya World show early on here, with an Asai moonsault onto all five of her opponents followed by a Blockbuster to Athena in the ring. Yuka Sakazaki cuts her off with a missile dropkick, and Billie hits a Swanton onto Yuka. Trish picks up Billie and powerslams her before Zayda drops a double stomp onto Adora's back and gets a 2 count.
• Zayda picks up Billie but Athena bails her out and asks "are we on the same page now?" Billie rolls her eyes but goes along to perform a tag-team suplex on Zayda, who counters into a double DDT and shitcans Billie to the floor. Athena grounds her with a head scissors from the mat. Athena does the Megan Bayne fallaway slam-Samoan drop spot with Maya and Yuka.
• Zayda has introduced a chair into this match, and this is how we find out that apparently despite elimination rules being in effect, this is a no-disqualification affair. Zayda wipes everyone out before delivering a really shitty chair shot to Athena's back and setting it up in the corner. She tries to whip Athena into it, who's able to stop herself and misdirects Zayda into it instead. Athena schoolboys Zayda and puts her feet on the ropes to pin her. Mike Posey makes a big show about not seeing the feet on the ropes but given that we later find out that rope breaks are not in effect either, it's questionable whether it would have mattered. Zayda Steel is eliminated first after getting a little overzealous.
• More weapons are quickly introduced into the match with a second chair, a kendo stick, and a metal trash bin. Everyone but Athena is scuffling in the ring as Athena is somehow spawning ten fucking chairs from under the ring and stacking them at ringside. Billie sets up a table next to commentary.
• Maya goes for a dive from the ring onto Athena and Trish but runs directly into a chair held up by Athena. She starts exchanging words with Trish before slapping her on the apron and calling her a "dumb bitch," shoving her, and trying to get back in the ring. Adora responds by choke slamming Athena onto the stack of chairs she set up.
• Billie clears off the commentary desk and puts Trish onto it. They jockey for position momentarily but it's Trish that gets Starkz into a fireman's carry and hits an Air Raid Crash onto the desk which, again, does not budge. Adora forearms Athena onto the table that was set up by the desk and Yuka splashes her from the middle of the top rope through the table. She nearly overshoots and dies
• Yuka rolls Athena back into the ring but for some reason Trish has decided that instead of trying to eliminate the defending champion, she needs to focus on Sakazaki. She gets a 2 off a schoolboy and transitions a ducked lariat into a spinout backbreaker. She's looking for Lariat Tubman but Yuka ducks and Athena, now on her feet for a second, eats the full brunt of it. Once again, nobody's focused on eliminating the champ who's completely wiped out. Yuka instead hits her Magical Merry-Go-Round to pin Adora and eliminate her.
• Yuka's got the trash can. Athena tries to beg off but Yuka just brains her before hitting a Magical Girl Splash with the can. She covers Athena but Billie Starkz breaks it up at 2. Billie gets Yuka onto the second and pins her off a tombstone piledriver. We're down to 3.
• Athena's on the floor so it's Maya and a staggered Billie in the ring. They fight for a bit before Maya ducks a couple wild swings. Billie cuts herself off on the second, though, and grabs Maya into a Canadian Destroyer that gets a 2 count. Athena arrives with two kendo sticks, tossing Billie one of them, and they go to work on Maya. Athena now retrieves an enormous ladder from under the ring. Maya's basically wiped out for the time being so I guess they've decided to set up spots. As Athena and Billie go to position the ladder in the corner, though, Maya kicks Billie in the back which traps Athena between the turnbuckles and the ladder.
• Billie goes up to the middle rope but Maya sledges her in the back. They're grappling up there when Athena, who's freed herself from the corner, goes to strike Maya, who ducks, and Athena catches Billie in the jaw instead. Maya bumps Athena to the floor and flings Billie out of the corner schoolboy style before eliminating her with a jack knife pin. We're down to Athena and Maya World.
• Athena goes to grab the title belt from the timekeeper's area and tells ring announcer Bobby Cruise that his suit sucks. Maya ducks a big swing with the belt from Athena and forearms her before an Even Flow DDT on the apron gets her a 2 count. Maya's keeping the pressure on, hitting Sweet Dreams for a second near fall in a row.
• Maya now puts Athena in an ankle lock. Athena gets to the ropes but referee Mike Posey tells her there's no rope breaks, and she's evidently unable to extend her arms long enough to get any kind of leverage to pull herself to the apron. Billie has not left ringside after her elimination, and she's now here with a towel. Commentary tells us that Billie is a licensed secondary, which means she is permitted to throw in the towel and give up on Athena's part even in a match that she was once actively in. She's clearly distressed about this and nearly throws the towel in but Athena knocks it out of her hand and grabs her to pull her into the ring to escape the hold.
• With no disqualifications, Billie takes a swing at Maya, who ducks and shotgun dropkicks her into the ladder. Maya goes for an axe kick on a seated Athena but Athena catches her and has a hold on her inner thigh. Maya tries to fight out of the hold but Athena plants her with a sidewalk slam. She hits Maya in the midsection with a chair before using Billie's back as a stepstool to climb that ladder set up in the corner and hit the O-Face on Maya from about 10 feet in the air to get the pinfall and retain the title for the 36th time in this marathon reign. 
• DIAMANTÉ comes out to celebrate post-match with Athena. Billie has no idea what to make of any of this, and that's not made any better by the fact that Diamanté convinces Athena to start berating Billie, who's torn in a sea of emotions. Billie's overwhelmed as Athena chews her out and screams "GET OVER IT!" at her. We go off the air with Athena screaming at Billie as she walks to the back. Diamanté and Athena return to celebrating in the ring.
